Normally, it is very tough to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions purely by going over technical specs. The image underneath will give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-E3 and Q.

As you can tell, each of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-E3 with its bigger sensor will make getting bokeh simpler and the Fujifilm X-E3 will deliver more detail having an extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-E3 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
